.... system — The greatest cause of summer breakdowns is overheating. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro. The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled as recommended. The level, condition and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. (A 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water usually is recommended.) Do-it-yourselfers, wait until the engine has cooled before removing the radiator cap. Do not dump old antifreeze/coolant into streams or sewers. Oil — Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual. Many repair shops will accept your used oil; never dump it on the .....

.... is projected to grow at 16.9% to $258 billion by 2000.6 A recent study by the Information Technology Association of America reveals 346,000 IT jobs are currently vacant in U.S. companies, leaving 1 in 10 jobs unfilled.9 The U.S. Commerce Department's Office of Technology Policy report, America's New Deficit: The Shortage of Information Technology Workers, indicates between 1996 and 2006, more than 1.3 million new systems analysts, computer scientists, engineers, and programmers will be required to meet industry's demands.3 The demand for "networking" to facilitate the sharing of information, the expansion of client/server environments, and the ne .....

.... “outside� the complicated world of the Internet and technology, MP3 probably will not ring any bells. But anyone who has accessed the Internet or skimmed through any popular magazines lately will likely recognize MP3 and the propaganda surrounding it. I do not want to bombard you with numerous technological terms, but a brief explanation is necessary in order to understand arguments surrounding the issue. MP3 is a new way to save, copy, and play audio files on a computer. The audio files are near CD-quality and take up very little space on a computer’s hard drive. Previously, high-quality audio files were saved on a computer in .....

.... The 600 plus participating scientists concluded that of the species surveyed, 34 percent of fish, 25 percent of mammals and amphibians, 20 percent of reptiles, and 11 percent of birds are threatened with extinction. Another 5 to 14 percent of species in these groups are "nearing threatened status." "The leading cause of vertebrate declines is human destruction of old growth forests, wetlands, chaparral, and other rich habitats," Worldwatch reports. "Worldwide, over two-thirds of the earth's habitable land surface has been significantly disturbed by human activities. Nearly half of the world's 233 primate species are threatened, largely because of .....

.... referred to as the father of Scientific Management. He believed that management, not labour, was the cause of and potential solution to problems in the industry. Taylor concluded that workers systematically ‘ soldiered' because they believed that faster work would put them out of a job and because hourly or daily wages destroyed individual incentive. Taylor believed that in order to discourage, and indeed halt, this ‘soldiering' a ‘ mental revolution' was required. He believed this could be achieved via four vital principles: (1) the development of the best work method, via systematic observation, measurement and analysis; (2) the scientific .....

.... profits. But is this really the way we should be living our lives? We place all of our dependence in machines, which we have developed to take the place of…us, the people who developed them. During the next few pages, we will examine the effects of computers in our society. Their positive and detrimental effects on people, and the way they operate within a given community. Thanks to the growth in computer capability and capacity, television and computers are merging into digital streams of sounds, images, and text that make it possible to become absolutely brilliant with information. The advancement in technology allows for the awarenes .....

.... We meant this in both the international and domestic sense: Nations would behave differently after the meltdown than they did during the past generation of extraordinary prosperity. The reconfiguration of Sino-American relations is an obvious manifestation of this. But it is the domestic political changes that are the most profound and will have the most impact on international relations. It should be obvious that an economic transformation of the magnitude we have seen cannot help but have equally dramatic political consequences. Asia is obviously a diverse region. It goes without saying that the economic meltdown will affect Japan’s politics dr .....

.... which came from northern Europe, focused less on painting and sculpture and more on a program of practical reform in a wide range of areas, including religion, education, and government. Yet, as More's Utopia makes clear, the humanists' interests in practical reform were in tension with the humanists' positions as members of the political establishment. They were also courtiers. Nevertheless, let me turn briefly to the humanists ideas for reform as these were put forth by members of . You might at some point wish to consider More's Utopia in this particular historical context. First and foremost, perhaps, the members of the More circle vigorously sup .....

.... and soundness. An argument is valid if and only if it is structured so that it is impossible for it to have true premises and a false conclusion at the same time. An argument is sound if it is valid and its premises are true. it is important for an argument to be validly structured because then a stable conclusion can be derived from its premises. It is equally important for an argument to be sound, because if an argument premises aren't true then it can be easily criticized and it will not be very persuasive. The argument from evil is a valid one. it is structured in a modus Tollens form which is a valid deductive form in prop .....

.... formally established rules and regulations that help to ensure uniformity of operations, and provide for continuity of business as well as making responsibility easy to place. In his 10 points Weber implied that procedures imposed on all who fall within their reach are formal and impersonal (Pace & Faules, 1994, p. 30-31). In addition to these procedures, It is suggested that an attitude of discipline is an integral part of the organization that wants to promote efficiency (Pace & Faules, 1994, chapter 3). They are intentionally designed without attention to personal or emotional considerations to prevent distortion of employees' rational judgment .....
